will pet safe wireless fence work if the house has a tin roof

I really don't know the answer to that question. I assumed the transmissions were picked up via window openings because the inside unit had to sit at a certain distance from the floor. I love the unit - my little guy can run freely without fear of harm to him.

No. This not a "wireless" dog containment system. Meaning it does not work off a "radio" signal. This package requires an in ground wire. It simply does not come with the needed wire, that is why it is advertised as "wireless." Very deceiving.

No, it works with a thermostat that is capable of operating with a hardwired remote sensor. It should be used with shielded cable (no wireless capability) and only with capable honeywell thermostats like the th8110.

I don't believe so. I have the hand held remote trainer and the collard that came with it did not work with the Petsafe Remote Receiver (wireless fence).

Yes it will. However if you are using a park model you might be better served to use a HD antenna that would be used at any residence as you may get better reception. This antenna is made for travel trailers as it is made much smaller and rotates when you change location. It would work on a flat mobile home roof if it is not more than 5" thick. When you install or cut a hole in the roof be sure to use self leveling sealant to seal to prevent any leaks.

Yes I have a metal roof. There is an outside antenna that the signal is transferred from.

Yes, for sure, however that seems like a huge waste of wire. There must be a more efficient way to do it. You can do a double wire (spaced 5' apart) across the area where you have no fence, then twist the wire and go directly back to the house where - you don't need to twist it and follow the fence all the way around. Also, if you're using "Yardmax mode" the dog can go right up to the wire without the warning going off. In some cases, you can't use that mode, so it may not apply to you.

As long as you don't have a metal roof and you have enough room to rotate the antenna to align it. You'll probably loose some signal, from being inside, but it should not be much. If you have lots of trees around your house above or equal to the roof line........don't think you'll gain much......the antenna would need to be outside on a pole (do not use metal pole - sch 80 PVC works good) to get above trees,.....but then you can't do that because of no outside antennas.

Not sure what you are asking. We installed ours as a prefence to our wood fence. It works well...dog doesn't get near it. If your dogs jump on fence it should work.

I wouldn't know the answer to that for sure - but would not hesitate to use with an invisible fence. This is not an electric type mechanism but rather one of kinetic energy - thus based on the dogs movement...as they move they create body energy and the tag works to keep critters away...not related to any electrical devices etc. I believe on the Shoo Tag site you can reach out to them and there are FAQ's, I'm sure they can clarify 100%.

I have had issues with wireless products working in a metal building before. If you are going from inside the building to the outside of the building, chances are, you will have issues. If you are going from within, to another location within, you may be OK. Manufacturers typically do not spend time testing for situations outside of the intended use, so the only way to know is to try it and see. I am going from a basement to the 1st floor of a house, with the set I bought, and have no issues at all. I do not monitor, just saves having to walk up and down stairs and make a cell call from within the house when dinner is ready or the wife has a question... Good luck.

Yep. Amazon has some waterproof splice kits for dog fences. There are similar products in the electrical and automotive sections of Walmart and other retailers.

Not really. But I was just thinking about this last night. I am going to test mounting TWO magnets, about six inches apart. One will be next to the wireless unit when the window is closed. The other will be next to the wireless unit when the window is cracked for ventilation. I will buy another window sensor from Fortress and just use the wireless part as a backup in case I have a sensor go bad. PS The only caveat, of course, is the alarm has to be turned off when you are moving the windows since the wireless unit will transmit when you leave the first magnet before arriving at the second.

YES it will work on a metal roof however you sgould pad and ductape the part that fits over the ridge of the roof so that the metal roofing does not get scraped up.

As long as the outside antena is facing the closest cell phone tower. the roof should not be a factor?

Yes they will. Being it is wireless the only animal that will be affected is the one wearing the collar.
